  • Protest and Resistance in the Crime Writing of Anne Perry Abstract
    4 Protest and resistance in the crime writing of Anne Perry JOANNE DRAYTON Abstract Anne Perry writes to re-write herself, to protest women’s condition, and to explore and re-imagine her own. This paper will examine how the essentialising label of evil became the established reading of Anne Perry (Juliet Hulme) and Pauline Parker and their crime, and how as a result of this vilification, protest and resistance became key provocations for Perry’s adult writing. It will show how Perry uses her fiction to protest women’s position generally, and as a means of resisting the label of evil and re-writing self. It will examine her crime detective fic- tion writing following the development of both her Pitt and Monk series, and will explore themes in her work of forgiveness and redemption through compassion and positive endeavour. It will show how Perry’s books have helped create a different ending. They are a form of redemption in themselves: a re-configuring for Perry of the construction of evil to that of writer and published author. Key words: crime fiction, biography, murder, lesbianism, adolescence, evil, redemption Introduction On 22 June 1954, Honorah Parker was bludgeoned to death in Victoria Park, Christchurch, by her teenage daughter, Pauline Parker, and Pauline’s school friend, Juliet Hulme. In the days after the Parker-Hulme murder, newspapers across New Zealand were ablaze with the story. Overnight Pauline Parker was arrested and 14 exercise books, including her diaries, were con- fiscated. The next day Juliet Hulme would also be charged with murder.
